In summary, Balticon 26 will be held at the Hunt Valley Marriott in Timonium
between April 17 and 19 (inclusive).  The aforementioned @ party will take
place in Room 3121 of the HVM on Saturday, April 18, 1992, beginning at 10PM,
or 22:00 hours.

It is VERY late to mail your money to BSFS for pre-regisration, but if it
*arrives* there before the last day of March, I am in a position to know that
your registration will be processed.  I work for them in a data-processing
capacity (gee, that sounds so - bogus).

That's $27.50, payable to Balticon 26, mailed to:

Baltimore Science Fiction Society
PO Box 686
Baltimore, MD 21203-0686

BSFS is a non-profit educational organization, and does not engage in sordid
commercial activity.  They raise funds to support their organization, which
now has to support their headquarters building ("clubhouse" in common usage).
Yes, BSFS added real estate to its holdings last year, and without the major
windfall of a Worldcon...
of course, tactful people won't *discuss* what happened at Constellation.

They now own their clubhouse, which they are renovating one brick at a time.
Contribute to their Building Fund NOW!
